Purpose/Activities

RECAP is an international and informal network of European documentation centres in the field of cultural policy. RECAP aims to improve the quality of access to, and delivery of, cultural policy information. RECAP's activities are free of charge for anyone interested through study, work or personal interest.

RECAP is a co-operative environment among documentation and research centres in many countries, led and nurtured by the three main partners, Boekmanstichting, Fondazione Fitzcarraldo and Österreichische Kulturdokumentation.

As well as, collecting information on international cultural policy developments, the participating documentation centres play a key role as a source of information on national and local cultural policies in their respective countries. RECAP provides an overview of these nationally based resources and hopes through its actions to support the flow of information in Europe.
